The summer of 1911 belonged to the Georgia Peach. In 146 games Cobb hit .420 — 248 hits, 47 doubles, 24 triples, 83 steals, 127 driven in, 147 runs scored. He didn’t just beat you; he wore you down, then ran over the top of you. Navin Field was his stage, and every pitcher who walked in already knew the script. The frames that follow keep the .420 summer moving.
.420
Two hundred forty-eight hits and a .420 mark — the number chalked big enough to own the year.
83 STEALS
Eighty-three steals — motion lines around the diamond while pitchers tried to hold him and failed.
WEAR YOU DOWN
A hundred twenty-seven driven in — he didn’t just beat you; he wore you down, then ran over the top.
